* The weather was SO cloudy, around 60 degrees, a couple rain drops showed their face, & it felt VERY 'dewey' which is so strange for me to experience in California. I've only been during the dry & hot summer months. I felt like I was back on the East Coast.

* There were SOOOO many Australian people there! We heard Australian accents all over the place. I loved it!

* The Sunwheel in DCA is going to re-emerge from renovations as something different; "Mickey's Fun Wheel." I have NO idea what's going to be different about it but I am assuming some more 'Disney theming' is going to be the forefront.

* WOAH, seeing the 'lagoon' of Paradise Pier completely empty & full of construction equiptment was just.. WEIRD!

* Now that DVC is coming to Disneyland CMs seem to be A LOT more aware of the DVC discounts available on food & merch. When I used to show my DVC card at many counter service & full service restaurants I'd often get a weird look and a "umm, sorry, we don't have that discount." I never fought it but I knew where I got the discount & so many CMs had no clue. That didn't happen ONCE on this trip. Every single place we ate I just flashed my card & got the discount no questions asked.
